He emerged from the Higgins thing with more credit than his adversary. I don't know him so can't comment on what he's like. As I said he's maybe the type of player who for some unknown reason gets opposition supporter's backs up. I'm not sure he did emerge with more credit than Higgins tho. Sent-off in a televised national cup final, lost the Cup, suspended, and it possibly contributed to his departure from Partick Thistle. Apart from a busted nose Higgins came out of it ok I would say and he lifted the trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Higgins' behaviour was more unbecoming than Muirhead's in my view. I don't think either was worse; they were equally bad. Higgins was out of order getting in Muirhead's face the way he did and a headbutt is a disgusting thing on or off a football pitch. Higgins' behaviour was inexcusable but a headbutt wasn't the deserved punishment. They both looked like utter idiots IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So winding someone up when they miss a penalty against you is worse than headbutting someone. Strange view but never mind, each to their own opinion I suppose.

Shadwell Dog Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I've got to admit I hate it when you see players taunting the opposition on the field and would hate to see any falkirk player do it. I always remember trezeguet giving Caldwell the 4-0 treatment when playing for france. It was great to see him getting his just desserts when we beat them home and away. It's no way to treat a fellow pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugster Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 The worst I remember was that p***k Martin Keown when Van Nistelrooy missed a penalty against Arsenal. Not just him but he was the worst. Shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Don't get me wrong. I loved that final. The drama at the end of extra time - in which the episode we're talking about was a big part - was something else. Then we won on penalties. Then Thatcher died. (Admittedly this happened the following day and might not have been all that closely related to the penalty incident) Muirhead's reaction to events on the field was much easier to understand than our captain's though.

ShaggerG Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 So, did he really headbutt Higgins or was it the usual push of the head in the face that we regularly see? I honestly don't think I've ever seen a proper headbutt at a football match. (Well between players anyway!) Most of the time the 'headbuttee' goes down like a ton of bricks when there's feck all wrong with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said he's maybe the type of player who for some unknown reason gets opposition supporter's backs up. Its not really unknown, Muirhead tends to niggle players and can be very much in their face at times. He has down some work with specialists in controlling his anger. He has an indifferent period this season but there isn't really one player at the club who hasn't, recent weeks back to what he does best but I'd like to see him in a central role, tho feel only a back three would suit him. Injuries at Patrick seen him drop down to us. Houstie hasn't won a league game at Queens, last seasons 2-2 was a bitter blow, so if its another 2-2, hopefully its us getting the late goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
